Temple Downed by Richmond 79 – 53 in Palestra 100 Game
PHILADELPHIA, PA. 11/8/2026
The Temple Owls played in the 100 Year Anniversary game at The Palestra against the Richmond Spiders. It took Temple to the 14:02 mark to score their first point on a free throw by Jordan Marsh. Behind 14 – 1 the Owls never caught up as Richmond wins 79 – 53.
“The game obviously ugly did not come out to be defensive. Didn’t start the right way,” said Temple Coach Adam Fisher. “We need the guys to what we’re asking. We need to have much better effort and intensity.”
Turnovers were a big problem for the Cherry and White. That did not allow the team to get into a flow. The Spiders shot just over 50%, while the Owls were just under 30%. Richmond had a 40 – 18 edge in points in the paint, many baskets by layups and good interior passing.
Richmond had 5 players in double figures led by Jamie Kaiser with 16 points. Alden Argabright had 15. Derin Saren took down 12 rebounds.
Cam Scott led the Owls with 13 points and Derrian Ford chipped in with 11.
“We showed little spurts through the game when we’re playing the right way,” Fisher said.
